Senior U.S. diplomat Richard Holbrooke won posthumous praise in Bosnia on Tuesday for brokering the Dayton treaty that ended its 1992-95 war -- even if peace since then has not been all that many had hoped for. "It is amazingly symbolic that Holbrooke died exactly on the 15th anniversary of the signing of the Bosnia peace agreement,the day encapsulating his lifetime political achievement," said Dragan Cavic, a former Bosnian Serb president. Holbrooke, 69, died on Monday after surgery to repair a tear in his aorta. REUTERS/Dado Ruvic (BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA - Tags: POLITICS OBITUARY IMAGES OF THE DAY)
